Chapter 18: Please!

And Beichen didn't know that in the Jinluan Hall at this moment, on both sides of the civil and military hundred officials, they didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, but above the Jinluan Palace, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji was roaring alone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"It is said that my Datang is vast and praiseworthy, and I am an outstanding person, don't I even have a person who fights?"

"On weekdays, I'm in high spirits, why don't you speak one by one when I can use you?"

Tang Emperor Li Longji had an angry face, staring at the civil and military officials, and his expression was not good.

At this time, a military general in front of the main hall stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the generals from the six countries don't have to worry, General Li is enough alone." ”

After a pause, the old man said in a deep voice: "It's just this literati, but our Datang has been defeated repeatedly......"

Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites next to him stepped forward, his face was ugly: "Your Majesty, other literati in the Six Kingdoms are okay to say, but only one person named Zhang Liang in Nanzhao is said to be unparalleled in the world, and the literary style is difficult to find in the world!" ”

"That's right, in the past seven days, the Chinese officials of the DPRK have all been defeated, except for a few elders!" Another civil servant spoke.

A prince wearing a python dragon robe frowned, stepped forward with a golden sword, and said with a full of anger: "Your Majesty, the army of the six countries led by Tubo and Nanzhao is ready to move, and the frontier is urgent, this time they are called transporting tribute, but in fact, they are spying on my Tang Dynasty, if you ......"

Before the prince could finish speaking, Tang Xuanzong in the Jinluan Palace interrupted: "If I lose the Tang Dynasty competition, I'm afraid they will come back again, right?" ”

Tang Xuanzong Li Longji swept towards the civil and military officials of the Jinluan Palace, no one dared to look at each other, Li Longji said coldly: "Tomorrow is the deadline, who will fight?" ”

"This ......"

Everyone looked at each other, and several pavilion elders had the heart to step forward, but they couldn't help it, Zhang Liang of Nanzhao was only two out of thirty, if a group of old people in Datang went up to compete with them, it would inevitably fall into the mouth.

"Your Majesty, the criminals who expose the emperor's list of criminals are here!"

At this time, General Li, who was dressed in golden armor, strode up to the Jinluan Palace, bowed to the emperor in front of him.

Hearing this, Zhao Han, an emaciated official on the right, had his eyes constricted, and hurriedly walked out: "Your Majesty, this person unveiled the imperial list, but he was careless and careless, and the poor storage caused the imperial list to fall into the water, causing the royal majesty to be damaged, which is the crime of punishing the nine clans!" ”

"What? The emperor fell into the water? That's a sin that deserves death! ”

"Such a big crime of punishing the nine clans, why do you need to go to the Jinluan Palace, just execute it directly."

"yes, why did such a person be brought here?"

……

Everyone was talking about it, they couldn't understand a criminal who damaged the royal face, how could such a person walk to Chang'an alive and bring him to the Jinluan Palace?

Li Longji's sword eyebrows frowned slightly, he was already angry, but he was even more displeased at the moment, staring at his henchman General Li Guangcongee, and said coldly: "General Li, I don't seem to have asked you to bring people?" ”

Li Guangcongee's facial muscles trembled slightly, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know how to answer, but his eyes kept falling on an old man next to him.

At this time, Zhao Han's eyes on the side turned sharply, stepped forward again, bowed down and said coldly: "Your Majesty, this person caused the emperor to fall into the water, but he is against the royal family, against the imperial court, and against the emperor!" ”

"Brother Zhao is serious, right......"

Before Li Longji, who was sitting quietly in the Jinluan Palace, could get angry, a half-hundred-year-old man with gorgeous hair next to him laughed, and then bowed to the emperor and muttered: "Your Majesty, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other. ”

Li Longji's pupils constricted, and when he reached his mouth, the "noon gate beheading" also stopped at the side of his mouth, staring down in surprise: "What does Meng Aiqing mean?"

The gray-haired old man bowed down and said sonorously: "This sinner, it was the old minister who ordered General Li to bring it to this Jinluan Palace, there is a reason for it, I hope Your Majesty will atone for your sins!" ”

"Meng Haoran, what a great sin is it to falsely preach the holy decree? Do you want to punish the Nine Clans? ”

Lord Zhao's eyes flickered, and he immediately scolded him, and after speaking, he also bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this Meng Haoran relied on himself to be an old minister of the former dynasty, and he falsely passed on the holy decree, and his crime should be punished!" ”

"Hmmm......"

Lord Zhao wanted to continue to speak, but at this time, Li Longji stretched out his hand to stop it, his eyes fell on Meng Haoran, and he said calmly: "Meng Aiqing continued. ”

"Your Majesty, this person will definitely be punished, but it's not ...... now"

Meng Haoran, who was over half a hundred years old, suddenly raised his head and said with a meaningful smile: "Just because of this person, he is the key person in the battle against Nanzhao Zhang Liang tomorrow, if he is executed immediately, there will be no one to fight tomorrow." ”

"This?"

"Against Zhang Liang of the Southern Zhao Kingdom?"

"Did you hear that right?"

At this moment, everyone was stunned, looking at each other, even the emperor Li Longji, who was the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, his eyes were locked, his eyes were staring at Meng Haoran, and he said in surprise: "Meng Aiqing is serious, right?" ”

"Your Majesty doesn't know, this person is the leader of the Luoyang Poetry Conference yesterday, his talent is unlimited, and he has defeated many enemies, including the son of Lord Zhao Han, Zhao Gang......"

Zhao Han, the secretary of the military department next to him, snorted coldly and did not open his mouth to refute.

"Beichen ......"

Li Longji squinted his eyes, and suddenly remembered that last night, the old minister Wang Changling sent someone to send the music overnight, he glanced at it, but he didn't care, at this moment, after being reminded by Meng Haoran, he suddenly had an impression.

Seeing the emperor say Beichen's name, Meng Haoran smiled lightly and muttered: "It is indeed this person, yesterday the old minister rushed to Chang'an on the way, and had a relationship with this person, the old minister was surprised by this young man's talent at that time, so he paid attention." ”

"Oh, Beichen can beat Zhang Liang?"

"But there is the power to fight!"

Meng Haoran said confidently, if it was just the previous poem, he was not sure, but after knowing Beichen's performance at the poetry meeting, he was sure that this person's talent was not weaker than Zhang Liang of Nanzhaoguo.

Seeing the emperor's move, Zhao Han's eyes turned sharply, and he immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this person caused the emperor to fall into the water, if he is not severely punished, how can the royal face be saved, the emperor." ”

"Lord Zhao, don't you declare a personal vendetta, this person is the emperor's imperial pen 'Qilin Genius', if you are killed, will you go to battle tomorrow?"

Meng Haoran looked angry and said respectfully to the emperor: "As far as I know, yesterday Beichen was drunk and accidentally fell into the water, although he was guilty of negligence, but he did not despise the imperial court and damage the emperor's prestige. ”

"Lord Meng, the damage to the emperor list is very important, I'm afraid it's difficult to convince the public with such a statement, right?"

"Lord Zhao, if you fight Zhang Liang tomorrow, the old man has nothing to say."

"Alright, don't make any noise! Bring Beichen up......"

Seeing that the two were noisy, Li Longji suddenly waved his hand impatiently and interrupted the two of them.

Soon, Beichen was brought and went to the Jinluan Palace, he had no time to take care of the golden splendor of the palace, his eyes paid attention to the Tang Emperor Li Longji, and when he got closer, Beichen bowed down and knelt down, and said respectfully: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Li Longji looked at Beichen and said without joy: "Are you guilty?" ”

"The emperor's list is not well kept, and the grass people have come to receive their death!" Beichen took a deep breath, extremely nervous, now he only needs a word from Emperor Tang, and his head will fall to the ground.

"A good leader to die, I won't kill you now, there are hundreds of envoys from the six countries of Nanzhao and Tubo, listen to my Tang Dynasty poetry is prosperous, a hundred schools of thought are contending, and I want to ask for advice or two."

Li Longji chuckled and said: "Since you are a 'Qilin Genius', tomorrow's competition will be up to you, win, I will give you a glass of wine, if you lose, I will still give you a glass of wine." ”

His Royal Highness Jin Luan's body trembled, and he knelt down and bowed: "Thank you for the emperor's grace not to kill, and the grass people will thank you." ”

It is said that Jun's heart is unpredictable, Beichen was shocked in his heart at the moment, he didn't expect that if he won or lost, he would give a glass of wine, in this case, if he lost, he would inevitably die of poisonous wine, and if he won, it might also be poisonous wine......

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Nanzhao sent someone to bring news, and tomorrow's writing will be here...... On the Golden Luan Palace! At this time, a civil official hurriedly ran in from outside the door, his body collapsed on the ground, and his face was terrified.

"Be bold, compete in the Jinluan Palace, this will damage the prestige of our dynasty, it is absolutely impossible." Zhao Han's eyes glowed coldly, and he bluntly refused.

"Don't refuse, if you refuse, the Six Kingdoms will be rumored, the hundred officials of the Jinluan Palace will retreat, and no one in the Tang Dynasty will dare to fight!"

"But I can't agree, it's nothing to compete in the Jinluan Palace, but once I lose, how can I have the face of the Tang Dynasty?"

Everyone is talking about it, and their opinions cannot be unified, in fact, the competition on the Jinluan Palace is not nothing, but it is all under the condition that they will not lose, if they lose, what is the face of the Holy World Emperor?

Beichen's eyes turned sharply, and he noticed that Tang Emperor Li Longji was very entangled, and he suddenly took a big step forward: "Your Majesty, the grass people, please Ying, I am willing to work with the envoys of the six countries...... Fight on the city of Chang'an! ”

Looking back, under everyone's surprised looks, Beichen's eyes were bright, and the words were sonorous: "If the grass people lose, they are willing to cut themselves off from the top of Chang'an City, so as to ...... Apologize! ”
